bam, what kinds of stuff are you thinking about? You can go mild to completely out of control with the bob. Here's a few of mine.
You can also check out the Fat-Bob Squadron. Lots of custom stuff there.

Thanks Clocker. The open A/C was a little concerning when I first got it. I haven't had any problems with it at all, and I have ridden in the rain.
When I go to Sturgis, I will be packing a small trash-bag so that when it's parked, if it starts raining hard, it won't hurt it.

Cool. Thanks. Sorry for the brief diversion bam bam. I have a fxdf as of two months ago. I've added cycle shack slip-ons and the a/c plus tune is next. Also added a bit of chrome over the battery cover (just didn't care for the stock cover) and upgraded the pegs, windshield for longer rides, sissy bar, and a knock off tbag. Guess I am going for function first before I make her look prurdier. Gotta get my camera working so I can start posting pics but all the extra cash is going to the bike right now.

Consider some good mirrors. I went with the Teardrop HD Script mirrors, and not only do I love the look, but they give me about an inch more visibility and they lock in place, they don't need to be adjusted. I didn't realize what a difference quality mirrors make, but man, they really are great to have.
